Parenting can SUCK! Soon to be parents and teens check it out!
Due to another post i thought maybe this will be cathartic. We all know parenting is not perfect it can be rough, tiring, dirty and at times just shitty. Kids can be a little assholes and the saying babies are like tiny drunk adults is true. So here is a chance to get it off your chest. Let others know that they aren't alone and those looking to have kids heres some "horror stories" or teens needing a reason to use protection here ya go!
For my older son i loathed when he started school it was prior to his aspergers diagnosis and it was hell! K5 wasn't too bad his teachers son was autistic so she helped us a lot and always had a schedule. And autism diagnosis's can take a year or more to "confirm". So when my son started 1st grade everything went down hill his teacher was going through a divorce and "didnt have time for this" and my son became a hellion. Biting, screaming, hiding under tables and trying to run. Kids "trying to help" would get in his face, try to grab him and make him take part all of which were triggers and the teacher encouraged peer help which just made my son more anxious. The first 3 weeks he asked no one touch or get in his face after that its like he became a different kid. And No amount of discipline worked only being on a schedule and adjustment for triggers. I was called to the school daily and was working nights, my son would ride home crying asking even begging forgiveness i was doing his classwork in the afternoons with him along with his homework so he wouldn't fall behind. He was writing apology letters to the students he hit and 2 he bit! Going to multiple meetings to get an IEP, doc appt, psychologist appt, behavioral appt, just pure exhaustion and emotional anguish. My heart broke every morning dropping him off at school and him begging me "please don't make me go". Nights working on his school assignments till i left for work coming home after manual labor to dress, feed and take a crying child to school. Our weekends were spent doing nothing since I didn't want to reward bad behavior. At one point i came to hate being a parent, jealous of parents having fun with there kids class, being room mom, etc.
After his diagnosis and we got him into a self contained room with a trained teacher things did a complete 180. Now he is a AB student who is doing fantastic!
